North German Plain graphics

[daeitelbach]

Hi Daeitelbach,

Firstly welcome to the Blitz!

There are new map graphics being implemented in the releases on John Tillers site. These include '3D like' elevation changes that make the different heights more obvious. These changes have not to date been ported to the HPS releases.

Unfortunately this new map is not compatible with Mapmod. It will be up to Jison if he updates his mod to work with the new structure.

As far as the map being too dark, this is a result of the low level of the map. The graphics can be changed to a lighter version if you like, by editing some of the bitmaps (2DNormal100 in the map directory) and moving some of the higher elevation graphics down.

I'd be happy to try and fix this for you if required - just PM me.

David

Hi Strela,

Thanks for your quick reply, and for the warm welcome to the Blitz! I wasn't aware that the games sold on JTS use new graphics. A shame that they're not compatible with Jison's mod!

Now that I know it's not an error, however, I'll leave it as it is. I really appreciate your offer of trying to fix it, though!

All the best,
David
